Girls' Generation just released their comeback album last August in celebration of their debut 10 years ago. But now, the K-Pop group is faced once again with disbandment rumors after three of it members - Sooyoung, Seohyun and Tiffany - reportedly ended their contracts with label SM Entertainment.

While their non-renewal of their contracts are true, agency however said that the group's disbandment is off the table. "The three members decided to terminate their contracts with the agency," a source told Yonhap News. "Although Girls' Generation will stay afloat, it would be difficult in practical terms for those members to remain in the team when they sign up with a different management agency. I understand the members are still discussing the matter."

"Girls' Generation is a very precious and significant group to S.M. and its fans. We're not thinking about dismantling the group," it added. "However, since there are members whose contracts have expired, we'll decide carefully after consulting with all members regarding the future path of the team."

It was also not long ago that reports concerning the same three members broke out after they went abroad for other projects. And as much as this fears SONEs, they promise to support SNSD in whatever decision they make.

Dear the rest 5 members of SNSD:

Keep going, stay strong, maintain the name “girls’ generation” as long as possible. However, if anything happened, we all would respect your decision.
